Amaranthus Red

Red Amaranth microgreens are visually striking with vibrant red stems and deep green/purple leaves, offering a mild, earthy, slightly nutty flavor similar to beetroot, making them excellent for colorful garnishes, salads, and wraps while being rich in protein, vitamins (A, C, E, K), iron, and calcium. They are grown from tiny seeds, often considered moderately challenging but rewarding. They are quick-growing, non-GMO seeds.
